HÖRMANN FLEXON DOORS

How We helped Hörmann

How We can help you

“A good name must be earned.” This was the philosophy August Hörmann, founder of Hörmann who started manufacturing steel doors in his metalworking shop back in the 1930s. Today, Hörmann is one of the world’s leading door manufacturers and is a global leader in today’s building components industry. Business rapidly increased when Hörmann opened their first U.S. Office in 2002. In order to keep up with the demand while delivering the same level of quality and customer service their customers and partners expect, Hörmann knew that they would have to harness the right technology. So Hörmann made the decision to work with Salesforce and BlackIron Group. BlackIron Group initially helped Hörmann Flexon  deploy Sales Cloud and configure, price, quote (CPQ) software. These tools gave the internal team the ability to quickly create, modify, and manage quotes for their customers and their partner channel (over 200 strong). Next, they re-imagined their Customer Support process, enabling Service Cloud and using Digital Engagement, Salesforce’s Text-to-Case module. This allowed a relatively small service team of four people to handle up to 120 cases a day, which included troubleshooting issues with a sophisticated product, communicating potential solutions, and monitoring   Using customer relationship management (CRM) in the manufacturing sector requires a system that meets your unique business needs. We can help your team find success on the Salesforce Cloud.

Why you need salesforce

Regular communication with your customers lets them know how much you value them and their business. Show them that you care by offering valuable information such as tips on how to use your products and services more effectively, event announcements, information on upcoming new products and expanded services, and special discounts on existing ones. Sales representatives can quickly create and manage quotes for partners and customers. Call center agents can seamlessly handle the highly technical support process across multiple channels
“Our decision to work with BlackIron Group to help us implement Salesforce was definitely a good one. They have helped us each step of the way to understand Salesforce’s multiple products, and to configure the tools to represent our unique business processes. While no one can predict the future, I believe we are well positioned to beat our competition and grow our business by putting our partners and our customers first. BlackIron Group and Salesforce are integral to that future.” – Peter Burnham, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at Hörmann “Salesforce and BlackIron Group provides our team with a tightly managed, yet simple quoting tool.  With it, we can input complex door measurements, and Salesforce CPQ will automatically calculate pricing, recommend optional products and prepare a professional PDF quote in seconds.” – Bob Rozell, Sales Support Engineer

Kenworth NE Sends Reps to the Right Doors, with BlackIron

Kenworth NE, an independently owned truck dealership with roots in Buffalo, New York now reaching into Massachusetts and Rhode Island, needed its sales team working from real data in the field, not guesswork back at a desk. BlackIron Group built Salesforce around Karmak, Kenworth NE’s DMS, and centered the whole experience on Salesforce Maps, giving reps a tool they could carry into the field to log calls by voice, snap photos on site, and see which accounts had gone quiet. Account records carried real Karmak purchase and service history, leads got logged with enough detail to show which sources actually produced sales, and KPIs built on real field activity became something managers and reps both trusted. The result: a sales process that runs the same way for every rep, grounded in Karmak data that used to sit unused in the DMS.

Trans Chicago Gets Procede Data Into Reps’ Hands, with BlackIron

Trans Chicago Truck Group, an Elite Support Certified Freightliner, Western Star, and Isuzu dealer across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana, was running its sales team on spreadsheets with no CRM built to match the size of the dealership. BlackIron Group built Salesforce around Trans Chicago’s full sales process and connected it directly to Procede, syncing accounts, repair orders, parts orders, sales orders, and inventory on a schedule so reps see live DMS data without leaving the CRM. A custom Add-On configurator and trade-in tool let reps price a full deal, and Conga Composer turns that into a finished quote, bill of sale, and spec sheet in the time it used to take to find the right numbers. The result: Trans Chicago’s leadership now sees accounts worth up to $49 million in lifetime truck purchases on one dashboard, built on data that used to live only in Procede.
